And she said that they increased in frequency over the course of their relationship so that in the final years that she was with Combs, she said these sex sessions became all-consuming and she spent most of her time either engaging in these freak-offs or recovering from them while simultaneously enduring Combs' abuse.
Now, two other women are expected to come forward to testify about alleged coercion and abuse. One other person the jury heard from this first two days was Daniel Phillip, a former male escort. Now, he gave graphic testimony about being paid thousands of dollars to have sex with Ventura while Combs watched and masturbated in the corner. He said that Combs also, in one particularly gruesome
Now, two other women are expected to come forward to testify about alleged coercion and abuse. One other person the jury heard from this first two days was Daniel Phillip, a former male escort. Now, he gave graphic testimony about being paid thousands of dollars to have sex with Ventura while Combs watched and masturbated in the corner. He said that Combs also, in one particularly gruesome
incident asked him to urinate into Ventura's mouth. Philip also said that he witnessed Combs' physical abuse of Ventura when he threw a liquor bottle at her and dragged her into a bedroom and slapped her as she was crying, I'm sorry. Now, Philip said that the reason that he didn't confront Combs at that time was because he was afraid of Combs' power and the bodyguards that were present. Wow.

And she emphasized that the women involved, including Ventura, were strong, capable, in love with him, and were making consensual choices. So she argued that that 2016 video, while indefensible and showing dehumanizing behavior, stems from a dispute over Ventura's phone and some jealousy.
